This is the picture that was posted in the ad . The seller is including the receipt from music direct. He says "New in sealed box Michell Gyrodec SE recently purchased from MUSICDIRECT as a replacement for a storm damaged unit. " I guess I will find out.

Perfect, now you know it will be properly packed.

Take your time and follow the instructions thoroughly. i laid everything out on a large table with the bits apprpropriately grouped. It takes some time to assemble, but is straightforward. Just follow the instructions carefully.

Okay...here it is being upacked...



Everything laid out nice and neat for assembly.



The frame:


All done:


Spinning a Blue Note:




Next to it's EAR phono stage. The EAR now rests on the shelf below the Gyro. Still sitting on light board an inner tube, though.


My Gyro now has a Shelter 501MKII cartridge on it that i bought used with <200 hours on it for $500. The Shelter is my first MC cartridge. Finally have it set up pretty sweet-sounding. Had to get the damping and VTA just right, but now it's got a lot of that mid-range magic that Jeff talks about (it's one of favorite carts as well) without sounding strident on the top as some MCs can.

Right now it's playing an Analogue Productions 45 Blue Note of Kenny Burrell's Midnight Blue and it sounds, well, really nice....

If you were with me listening to Kenny's guitar with Stanley Turrentine on sax, it would be even tougher!

I've always loved the look of the Michell Gyrodecks. I'm jealous. That is one sweet 'table.
